2024 R2 Convention Information Bulletin No. 3 Welcome to the third Information Bulletin devoted exclusively to the Overeaters Anonymous Region 2 Convention to be held in Sacramento, CA July 12-14, 2024. In the first Information Bulletin, we shared general information about the upcoming event. The second bulletin was devoted to costs, and now, we’re focusing on FUNDRAISING! We wanted to share some ideas on what YOU (individual members, meetings, and Intergroups) can do NOW to help meet our fundraising goals. Here are some suggestions on how you can assist in the fundraising whether you’re going to the event in-person or virtually! Calling all craftspeople, artisans, and builders! We all love handmade items, such as: Paintings, Framed Photographs, Quilt, Afghan, or other cuddly article, Knitted hat, gloves, scarves, Jewelry, Hand-crafted jewelry or GOD BOX, Birdhouse, Small windmill. How about donating cool merchandise, such as: Air Fryer, Fitbit, Smart Watch, Tablet, Big Screen TV, Kindle or other e-reader. And, don’t forget very popular GIFT BASKETS. They can be filled with recovery-related literature and such, self-care products, coffees, teas, etc. We will also gratefully accept CASH! Yes, cash. We’d like to make some money trees and purchase additional fundraising items. These are just a few ideas. We’re sure Intergroups, Meetings, and individual members will be able to come up with even more wonderful offerings. Please contact the Fundraising Chair, Nancy Mc at (916) 698-0541 or send Nancy an e-mail at nancynandalion@gmail.com with questions or other fundraising suggestions!
